Description

Eight-year-old Princess Irene lives a lonely life in a castle in a wild, desolate, mountainous kingdom, with only her nursemaid, (Lootie) for company. Her father the king is normally absent attending to affairs of state, and her mother is dead. Irene has never known about the existence of the goblins which lurk in the underground mines but her nursemaid Lootie does know about them. These goblins are grotesque and hideous beings, who centuries ago were human, but due to various reasons, they were driven underground and became malformed and distorted by their new lifestyle. This caused them to despise the humans above the ground and vow revenge against them.

    I have not yet read the princess and the goblin, but I know it will be great. I love the books made by catholic people. J.R.R Tolkien was inspired be this book and I was inspired by the lord of the rings

    The Princess and the Goblin is one of the best fantasy stories I have ever read. George MacDonald wrote some of, if not the best and purest fantasy.
  • Amazing
